Fresh Starts: Apartment Therapy Cure Reader Projects

Twice a year, Maxwell leads all readers who are ready to make a change through the Apartment Therapy Cure. It's a step-by-step process for helping the health (and beauty!) of your home. Participants in the most recent Cure have followed up with photos of their quick real-life home organization projects— take a peek and get inspired to make some of your own simple fresh starts…

None of these projects required big wallets, tons of time or power tools, but they make an ongoing difference in the day-to-day life of the people who pulled them off. Putting just a bit of time and energy into organization projects always makes for long lasting dividends - just remember, nothing you do for your home is ever wasted!

Shown above the jump, and here in it's full glory - a totally reinvented (simplified, straightened up and streamlined) home workspace.

An underused and unorganized medicine cabinet was a missed storage opportunity...

until a simple clean out and reorganization, where all the necessary items found a home. Here is "his" side after...

...and "hers". Make the most of all storage spaces by simply keeping them well stocked and organized, so you'll actually want to use them.

From wasted wall space...

...to a simple, but useful entryway landing strip that also adds a little splash of color.

The basic structure was in place - it just needed a clean out and reorganization to get this open closet back on track.
